  The instance must have a problem, have you checked xmllint against it ?

  That should work, there are test in the regression suite for UTF-16

  That should not be needed

  No, No (libxml2 will convert internally), and No.
Make 100% sure your XML file is correct, check xmllint against it.
Then check xmllint --stream against it to check the reader interface.
If one fails and not the other send a copy. Otherwise you probably
have a problem with the document.
